It'll be interesting to see how many of those who think it's okay to execute people based on sexual orientation do not think it's okay to execute based on religion.

You can be against both, and not support the hypocritical UN interfering in a sovereign nations business.

A friend said to me a long long time ago, those in the M.E. will never change, and the West will not change them either. We can help out with the wars, and with humanatian efforts, but we will never be able to understand the mindset of a true muslim. There will never be peace, only bloodsheed and turmoil, you know now i believe him. A religion that is suppose to be about peace, is so very immorally injustice and quite evil.

Accidentally voted for it not to be banned, meant the opposite. Killing someone only because of what supernatural being (or lack thereof) they believe in is an injustice.

I personally am not aware of anyone that thinks that...other than radical muslims. Were you referring to anyone in particular?

The experience in Western Europe and Muslim immigrants who will not assimilate to the culture of the country in which they are living would seem to back up this theory. Yet, it is not the Western cultures executing anyone based on his/her religious beliefs. So really, what is the OP's motivation behind this thread?

The stupidity of this thread is nobody said they were for Killing Homosexuals, they said it's not our place to tell other countries what they can and cannot do and I stand by that. Nobody said we can't condemn other countries for their policy but forcing them to adhere to our policy is wrong.

In your opinion, is it equally as unacceptable to kill anyone for their sexuality? How should the US deal with countries that do?
I haven't seen the thread, with that being said, I would rather refer to myself as a Christian, not a Bible-Thumper.

I don't believe in executing someone on sexual or religious beliefs. God proved on the Cross all sins can be forgiven even upon your last breathe.

By taking ones life for his/her beliefs one is playing God, and when you make judgments that are not God's there is a great price to pay. Each life is precious who is man to decide how we live our lives, pertaining to getting to Heaven.
It's one of the Ten Commandments to not violate. I do believe in the death penalty in certain cases.

How should the US deal with it......... I'm not sure we are suppose to tell another country how to run their country. This issue is what the UN is for, and they do nothing. People need to know that people in third world countries, don't have trusting preachers to tell them the word correctly, we barely have this in America.

The Bible is the most misused BOOK.
